Le Voyage à Nantes — Summer Art Trail 2026

Le Voyage à Nantes is France's most ambitious urban art trail — a summer-long programme transforming the entire city into an open-air museum, running from early July to the end of August. A green line painted on the pavements guides visitors through 40+ permanent and temporary installations, connecting the Machines de l'Île with street murals, sculpture gardens, and site-specific commissions in unexpected urban spaces. Not a specifically LGBTQ+ event, but the creative, inclusive atmosphere and the international visitor influx make this one of the best periods of the year to visit Nantes. Many LGBTQ+ artists are represented. The Île de Nantes installations frequently address themes of identity and transformation.
